📏 Form Guide

Elche CF

LDLLDL ⚠

Elche CF will be looking to improve on their last outing here after the 3-1 La Liga loss in their previous game against Celta Vigo.

In that match, Elche CF had 50% possession and 7 attempts on goal with 2 of them on target. The only player to score for Elche CF was Emiliano Rigoni (50'). Celta de Vigo got 9 shots on goal with 6 of them on target. Santi Mina (45', 68') and Brais Méndez (45') scored for Celta Vigo.

It has been seldom in recent times that Elche CF haven’t conceded. It will be a concern for them that Los Franjiverdes have seen their defence breached in 6 of their previous 6 matches, giving up 12 goals during that time.

Their prior results show that Elche CF:

• have not lost a league tie with Eibar in their previous 2 games.
• are without a win at home for the past 8 league games. It's been disappointing.

Eibar

LLDLLD ⚠

In their previous game, Eibar drew 1-1 in the La Liga tie with Real Valladolid.

In that match, Eibar managed 54% possession and 13 shots at goal with 2 of them on target. The only player on the scoresheet for Eibar was Kike García (23'). Real Valladolid got 5 shots at goal with 1 of them on target. Roque Mesa (7') scored for Real Valladolid.

Eibar have been effective going forward of late, scoring 5 goals in their previous 6 matches. Having said that, Armeros have been somewhat leaky at the back, having also been scored against in 6 of those same outings. We will find out if that trend will be continued on here.

Taking a look at their past results, Eibar:

• remain undefeated by Elche CF when they have played them away from home in the previous 4 matches in the league. An impressive run.
• are without an away win for the past 6 league matches.

Out of a mainly full-strength group of players, there’s just the one fitness issue for the Eibar boss José Mendilíbar to contend with. Kévin Rodrigues (Muscular problems) misses out for this game.
